I started playing right at launch and have already put in about 43 hours. And I still have a good portion of the map to unfog. I’ve been doing every side quest and question mark and activity I see.
My one complaint is there are too many weapon variants and the resource grind to upgrade them and the outfits is too much. So many weapons I don’t even use cause there’s way too many that are all too similar. I don’t like how I can’t upgrade my favorite stuff unless I go out of my way to find a squirrel bone or have a specific part of every machine and that’s just for one weapon or outfit level. Throw in tons of weapons and later ones having at least 5 upgrade levels it gets to be a grind.
I’m up to The Tower level. I can easily do the first and second levels now. Second level only people give me trouble is the woman with the pole and the 2 people right before the boss. Boss of level 2 is easy now. You can literally just stand in one spot and hold L1 and move stick left or right to dodge his strikes. Only attack him when he’s done with his combo. Get shrine upgrades for increase focus on evades and you build your focus super fast. And keep doing leg sweep focus when it’s up. Third level you can take elevator straight to the boss once you have elevator key.
Now that’s where I struggle. I can’t get the hang of third boss phase 1. I lose most of my lives there. Her second phase is much easier to dodge. My best is tower at age 53 and I don’t last too long there cause I already have a death multiplier of like 6 or 7 due to the third boss.
I’ve been in the beta for this update since it released what 2-3 months ago. I never liked it and I especially didn’t like the message that popped up when me and my friend logged into our party the first time during the beta and it said that our party chat audio could be monitored and recorded and we had to agree to having our audio recorded. Like what the hell is that. I want to talk in a party with him but we don’t want someone listening to our conversations on Sony’s servers.
@Flaming_Kaiser I understand that and it makes sense. But the game has gone gold which means it’s done and submitted. They’re all ready to start printing the discs and sending them to distribution. If a patch is needed it can be submitted and uploaded so it can be available to download on day one of release. I’m sure there will be patches after release as well. It happens with many games.
I just assumed with the delay the game wasn’t done yet but close. But with the story of it going gold I wonder why the need to delay. But it’s only 3 weeks longer after May 29. Not too big a deal. But then it pushes back Ghost of Tsushima which must upset people looking forward to that just cause Sony doesn’t want 2 of their biggest games coming out at same time. Anyways I’m just so excited to play the game. And after today’s trailer I’m even more hyped.
Oh and before anyone says because of the corona virus they weren’t sure every one could play it on time. Final Fantasy and Resident Evil both shipped. I still see 4K blu rays coming out every week on time. I can go right now to Walmart or Target or Best Buy curbside pick up and buy the new movies that come out each week. I live in Las Vegas and they’re already planning to reopen some casinos.
I’m buying Last of Us digital so I don’t care. But they could have released it digital. Still shipped to stores so they don’t piss off the distributors/retailers. And when they put them out, that’s on them. Even if it’s a couple days late to a certain store. People will still buy it if they choose to shop there. Look at the final fantasy release fiasco. I was upset stores in Australia were selling it 2 weeks early. Enough so I looked into importing it for a couple hundred dollars. It is what it is. I just wish the leaks never happened cause of all the haters trying to tarnish the game before anyone’s played it.
I don’t usually leave comments on sites, just read them. But just wanted to say I’m so excited for this game no matter the leaks. I chose not to look at them. I only know of one story surprise. I loved the first game and can’t wait for the game to finally release.
The question I’m wondering is since the game has gone gold, why is it not releasing on its original release date of May 29, which in and of itself was already pushed back from February? That’s still 3 and a half weeks from now. I understood the reason they gave was they just weren’t going to be able to polish it or bug fix it in time to make that date. But it’s gone gold meaning it’s done. No reason to delay it another 3 weeks.
